Thanks Anton, Not bad for a rookie, huh ? I don't know how much it's been flown but it was in pretty rough shape by the time it got to me .

The winglets were thrashed so I bought new ones, and the re-cover was definately needed. There were tears in the bottom of the wing. I had to cut out a small ball of foam and put some epoxy at the end of one of the brass spar tubes because the foam had been crushed from pushing the spar in too far and caused a lump in the covering. The tape was pulling away from the nose. There was just an array of things.

I'm not badmouthing anyone but we definately need to look at it before it gets sent to the next person, especially if this little baddie has a few more miles ahead of it . I'll send the blue and gold tape with it for repairs, taping across the wing, closing the receiver cover, etc.

Just wanted to thanks Dave (SLO Soarer), for seeing and acting on the opportunity to be part of the Dominator tour, and for giving us a chance to be part of it as well. It felt great to fly a plane which was on a much longer and noble flight.

Leaving Los Osos

Well, the Dom will be leaving San Luis Obispo today and heading on it's way to Reed up in San Francisco. It's been a blast flying her and I'm still working on getting the video done so I can post it. I'm having some issues getting from the dvd and into adobe premier. Any suggestions ? Anyway, I hope that everyone else has a good time with her. Just a word on flight characteristics....She's a bit tail heavy and squirrely at times , but overall a blast to fly.

Hi
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post!
Just been following the details of the slope tour with interest.
I just had a thought, i'm visiting california from 1st June and leaving from San Francisco on 11th June back to England.I noticed Slopetrashuk has signed up as a pilot. Don't know if its too soon but I could give the Dom a lift back here to the UK if you wanted.Let me know if you need me or any more details.
Cheers
Karl
